Only 5 days to go... Blue frantically rehearse their Eurovision performance ahead of grand final

With only five days to go until they represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest's grand final, Blue has been frantically rehearsing their performance.

The boyband jumped on stage in Dusseldorf, Germany, in their casual jeans to practise their high notes and fancy footwork in a bid to perfect their routine for the grand final this Saturday.

Lee Ryan, Antony Costa, Simon Webbe and Duncan James were rehearsing for tomorrow’s semi-finals, for which all semi-finalists have now rehearsed at least once ahead of the grand final on May 14.

The first semi-final is on Tuesday, followed by semi-final two on Thursday, and Blue have been trying to get their nation to support them – without much luck.

The boys are performing I Can in the contest, but listeners in the UK and Europe have little chance of hearing the song in advance, as only one of the BBC’s radio stations have put it on their playlist.

Blue has some tough competition though, including going up against X Factor rejects Jedward, who are representing Ireland.

The 19-year-old twins, John and Edward Grimes, are performing last in the city’s Espirit Arena and will need to finish in the top 10 in Thursday’s semi-final to make it into the grand final on Saturday night.

The boys will be busy working with their vocal coaches and choerographers today, as well as speaking to press ahead of the competition.
